'Copy clipboard function working locally but not working server
I am using the below script: It is working locally in visual studio. but in server it throws
"Cannot read property 'write text' of undefined"
function GetCopyText(thislink) {
var Content = thislink.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.children[2].children[0].children[0].innerText;
navigator.clipboard.writeText(Content).then(function () {
// alert('Async: Copying to clipboard was successful!');
}, function (err) {
console.error('Async: Could not copy text: ', err);
});
}
Solution 1:[1]
Make the protocol https and the browser should run it.
Solution 2:[2]
Clipboard feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

Thanks Wade
Suggestions: its better to check navigator.clipboard value and proceed only if exists. This provides good user experience and In large organizations, since many developers will be running UI in local mode for testing, It saves their debugging time and then figure out navigator.clipboard is not available in local mode without https.
